Here are some reasons to choose Perry Weather over DTN WeatherSentry:
The number one reason people cite for loving Perry Weather? Our customer service. We’re always here to help with real people offering chat, email, or phone support during normal business hours.
We even set up your local policies for you in your Perry Weather account so you don’t have to worry about it.
All Perry Weather customers also receive 24/7 meteorologist support via phone, text, or email. So if you have a big event coming up and you’re uncertain of which way the weather will turn, our degreed meteorologists have your back.
Perry Weather lets you manage as many locations as you want under one account. With DTN WeatherSentry, you can only manage 6 locations. With Perry Weather, you can make sure all your locations follow your organization’s rules and have proper security settings.
For example, let’s say you’re a school district. The athletic trainer at one school doesn’t need weather alerts from other schools. But you can feel confident knowing you can control settings for all schools in your district from Perry Weather. You can manage all your locations from one place.
DTN’s weather data can be misleading. While they present it as on-site data, it actually comes from public weather stations – the same ones free apps access.
If real-time, on-location readings matter to you, Perry Weather is a better option. Our commercial grade sensors provide accurate measurements of critical factors like WBGT and lightning strikes directly from your field or facility. You’ll get the precise, actionable insights you need to make informed decisions.
DTN WeatherSentry updates weather conditions once per hour, whereas Perry Weather updates every 5 minutes.
We’ve all seen how the weather can change at the drop of a hat, so how useful is data that’s an hour old when it comes to making safety decision? We’ll let you decide…

Great question! We obviously think we’re pretty great, but here’s an honest comparison:
Both Perry Weather and DTN WeatherSentry allow you to monitor severe weather and alert those who need to know what to do when severe weather strikes.
To help you decide between Perry Weather and DTN Weather Sentry, let’s dive into the details.
All features are accurate at the time of writing, but they may change over time.
One of the key distinctions between Perry Weather and DTN WeatherSentry is the number of locations you can manage within a single account. Perry Weather offers the flexibility of unlimited locations, while DTN WeatherSentry caps you at just six.
Why’s that a big deal?
Imagine you’re a school district with 6 high schools and 20 middle schools. With Perry Weather, you can watch over all these schools with just one login, and you can set up each place so it’s run just the way you want.
So, if you’re an athletic trainer at one high school, you won’t get bogged down with alerts from another school. And if you’re the Athletic Director, you can rest assured knowing you’ve got everything under control, all from one spot.
Similarly, for municipalities or Parks & Recreation organizations, with Perry Weather you can monitor all your parks, concert venues, water parks, and other public spaces from a single account. This allows for customized settings per location, so you’re not overwhelmed with irrelevant alerts. As an administrator, you can efficiently manage all areas from one centralized platform.
With DTN WeatherSentry, you’re limited to 6. Not very convenient.
Perry Weather and DTN WeatherSentry both report on similar data, such as WBGT, lightning strikes, humidity, ambient temperature, wind speed, and more. However, the interface in which you access this crucial information are vastly different. Take a look below at an example screenshot from each platform.
